The recent empirical literature has shown that the dynamic generating mechanism of macroeconomic variables can be asymmetric. Inspiring from these empirical results, this thesis uses a class of nonlinear models called smooth transition autoregressive models to investigate possible asymmetric dynamics in inflation and nominal exchange rate series of Turkey. Estimation results imply that variables under consideration contain strong nonlinearities and these can be modeled by STAR models.

Financial capital flows and economic growth: the Turkish case Kömürcüoğlu, Muammer; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Department of Economics (2010) This study analyzes the effect of capital outflows on economic growth though the channels described in sudden stop literature. Using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach; it is found that there is a cointegration between capital inflows, real exchange rate and real GDP. The results show that there is a significant positive long-run relation between capital inflows and growth. It is also found that capital inflows affect real output in the short run. The results show that real ex...
Keynes and Modern Macroeconomics Semmler, Willi; Gong, Gang (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2008-6) Recently, the dynamic general equilibrium (DGE) model, or its more popular version, the Real Business Cycle Model, has become a dominant paradigm in macroeconomics. Also many New Keynesians have embraced this new paradigm. Keynes in his General Theory has extensively responded to and criticized classical economics that was dominant at his time. This paper elaborates on how Keynes would have responded to this new paradigm. Moreover, we discuss some major macroeconomic issues and show of how differences in tr...
Efficiency in Turkish agriculture : a farm houshold level analysis Dudu, Hasan; Çakmak, Erol; Department of Economics (2005) This thesis analyzes the efficiency structure of Turkish agriculture in farm household level by using various models of stochastic frontier analysis. A household level survey conducted in 2002 and 2004 is used in the analysis. Firstly, an efficient production frontier is estimated by a panel data models. By using these estimates, relative importance of production factors and their interaction with various farm specific factors are inspected. The parameters of production frontier show that agricultural produ...
Application of the theory of constraints to an elective course registration system Üstün, Pınar; Onay, Lamia Zeynep; Department of Business Administration (2010) The Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a holistic management philosophy put forward by Eliyahu Goldratt in 1984. The thinking process and improvement tools discussed in this theory are mainly geared to manufacturing environments, however their applicability to service environments has also been shown for private professional service organizations. This study demonstrates that the steps and principles of the TOC can also be applied to non-profit services, such as the elective course registration process describe...
Exchange Rate Pass-Through in Turkey: An Empiricial Investigation Pekbaş, Melek Özgür; Özmen, Adalı; Department of Economics (2004) This study investigates the degree of exchange rate pass-through to prices in different sectors for Turkish economy using Johansen Cointegration procedure. The study is based on quarterly data from 1994:1 to 2003:4. In this study it is concluded that the long-run exchange rate pass-through to overall wholesale prices for Turkey is very high and nearly complete. High pass-through degrees are also valid for different sub-sectors wholesale prices like private, public, manufacturing industry and energy. Moreove...
